On Sunday, January 25, 2026, Mumbai is experiencing a bright and sunny winter day with comfortable temperatures in the mid-20s, offering pleasant conditions for outdoor activities from late morning through the afternoon.This follows Saturday’s “poor” air quality, which may still cause some irritation for sensitive groups today, despite a steady breeze expected to aid dispersion.The day’s forecast includes a high of 26.6°C and a low of 21.3°C, with no rain anticipated and strong visibility, while the week ahead promises consistently sunny skies and warm days, making it suitable for various plans with mindful consideration of air quality in congested areas.The city is set for a proper winter-sun kind of day. Skies will remain sunny with temperatures hovering in the mid-20s. This makes it a comfortable outing day from late morning through the afternoon.Today’s forecast is straightforward, featuring sunny and dry conditions. The high temperature is expected to reach 26.6°C, with a low of 21.3°C. The average temperature for the day will be around 23.8°C.Humidity levels will sit near 57%, which is considered fairly comfortable for Mumbai. The warmth in the sun will not be the sticky kind that drains quickly. Winds could pick up to about 21.2 km/h. This speed is enough to make the shade feel a touch cooler, especially along open stretches near the coast or on flyovers.Rain is essentially off the table for today. There is 0 mm expected and a 0% chance of rain. Visibility remains strong at roughly 10 km, which is good news for commuters and anyone planning a drive out of town.The day will feel mildest and most pleasant in the morning after sunrise, which is at 7:15 AM. Temperatures will still be closer to the low 20s during this period. By late morning into early afternoon, the sunshine will be at its sharpest. It will feel warmer in direct sun, making it ideal for errands, beach time, or a quick café run. By evening, after sunset at 6:27 PM, the breeze and the dip toward the low-20s can feel noticeably cooler. A light layer will not hurt if one is staying out.
Air Quality
Yesterday, Saturday, January 24, 2026, Mumbai’s air quality was recorded. It came in at AQI (India) 119, which is categorised as Poor (Category 3). On the US scale, the air quality index read AQI 153. This aligns with “unhealthy” for sensitive groups.The main concern for yesterday’s air quality was particulate pollution. PM2.5 levels were measured at 64 µg/m³. PM10 levels were at 78 µg/m³. Carbon monoxide (CO) was recorded at 332.What this typically means on the ground:“some people may have noticed throat irritation, dry cough, heavier breathing during workouts, or a mild headache after long outdoor exposure—especially children, older adults, and those with asthma.”Yesterday’s air quality sat in the “poor” range. This can still leave a bit of lingering irritation for sensitive groups today. The steady breeze expected today can aid dispersion of pollutants. However, dry, sunny conditions also mean there is no rain to “wash out” dust and fine particles.The air may feel a bit clearer in open areas. Yet, traffic corridors and construction zones can still spike local pollution.
Recommendations for Activities
Regarding morning activities, the article states:“it’s a nice morning for a walk, but it’s smart to choose a less traffic-heavy route (or carry a mask if you’re prone to allergies).”If stepping out around midday, sunglasses and water are recommended. Sunny winter afternoons can still lead to dehydration. For exercise, it is suggested to aim for the earlier morning when heat stress is low. Consider parks away from main roads to reduce PM exposure.For those commuting through congested stretches, such as the Western Express Highway, Sion-Dharavi belt, or central business pockets, a well-fitted mask can make a noticeable difference for sensitive lungs. If keeping windows open at home, the breezier parts of the day may feel great. However, if near a busy road, it may be advisable to air out the house when traffic is lighter.
Week Ahead Forecast
Mumbai’s forecast is expected to stay remarkably consistent through the next week. Sunny skies are predicted every day, with no rainfall signals. Daytime highs will mostly remain in the 26–28°C band.Monday, January 26, looks a tad warmer with temperatures of 27.5°C / 22.6°C. Tuesday, January 27, will hold near 26.2°C / 23.1°C. This day is expected to have slightly higher humidity at 63%, which may feel a bit more muggy.Midweek is set to remain bright. Wednesday, January 28, will see temperatures of 27.2°C / 21.2°C with a stronger breeze, up to 23.8 km/h. Thursday, January 29, stays similar at 27.3°C / 22.1°C.Friday, January 30, and Saturday, January 31, will keep the sunny streak going. Highs will be around 27.2–27.7°C, with nights near 23°C.These conditions are described as:“good conditions for outdoor plans, especially Wednesday to Saturday, when the weather looks most reliably pleasant.”The moon moves from a Waxing Crescent today. It will progress toward a brighter Waxing Gibbous through the week. Moonrise will shift later each day.This makes for:“nice for evening strolls if the air feels manageable.”The data referenced in this article is taken from AQI.in.
